Olesen’s T20th finish in Denmark was enough to seal his Ryder Cup debut under fellow Dane and good friend Thomas Bjorn.

Cannot put into words how happy I am right now! It’s always been my dream to be a Ryder Cup Player, but it’s going to be even more special with my great friend @ThomasBjornGolf as captain! Bring it on 🇪🇺🇩🇰 pic.twitter.com/p8L3Pxz6ql

It was a tight race for the final spot, with Matt Fitzpatrick and Eddie Pepperell both in with a chance with one event to go in Denmark. Each man needed a victory to qualify and Fitzpatrick finished in T7th whilst Pepperell ended T56th.

In the States, Rafa Cabrera Bello’s T7th finish at the Dell Tech Championship would have got him on the team but unfortunately for him, the event finished on Monday – one day too late.

He was then overloooked for a pick along with Made in Denmark winner Matt Wallace who birdied 10 of his final 13 holes to win for the third time this year. Others in contention for picks included Thomas Pieters and Russell Knox.
